So holilday cook today for kids and grandkids. Slab of beef back ribs, 2 slabs of St Louis ribs. Went on the Z upper rack about 930. Had them on "super smoke" for about an hour, then up to 225 until the probes hit 160ish. Then off everything came. Wrapped. No liquids or extra fats i.e. butter or such. Just the meat. The beef ribs had a slightly more savory rub (mostly a S,P and G base), the pork had a rub tending more to pork basically a slightly sweeter rub typical of pork. So nothing else was added to the packs. Dropped the grill down to 190 and let everything ride until kids got here, dropped it down to "keep warm" setting, for an hour, pulled the packs and let them rest wrapped another hour.
All the ribs were "kiss off the bone" but not "fall off". There was "bite". But they were all outstanding. Honestly best I have ever done. Good smoke on the bones as well. Using the pellets from Costco. Again, the magic these things work is nothing short of amazing. I have done similar work with my gas grills and had good results but, not like this. Just amazing. So sorry I did not think to do photos. We had the little ones all day, and between them and the cook along with trying to get garden work done, and the fact my left ankle is vey painful and swollen. Just a bit overwhelmed
